Brussels – Simplification, tax incentives, quick timeframes — ideally 48 hours — to set up and register companies. <\/strong>Furthermore, a facilitated path to attract skilled labor and non-EU entrepreneurs to open their own companies in the EU through a fast track. <\/strong>In a nutshell, this is the European Commission’s strategy for launching new companies and the industrial-scale expansion of innovative excellence (EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy<\/a>). According to Commissioner for Startups and Innovation\u00a0Ekaterina Zaharieva<\/strong>,\u00a0 the initiative “is a clear statement of purpose: to make Europe the best place in the world to start and grow a business.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The EU wants to become a hub, and the way to make this possible has several elements: one is\u00a0simplification, the new watchword of the second von der Leyen Commission<\/a>. With this in mind, the EU executive announces a “regime<\/strong>\u00a0to simplify rules and reduce the cost of failure by addressing critical aspects in areas like insolvency, labor and tax law.<\/strong>” Fewer rules, less red tape, and bureaucracy for a more attractive EU and a single market for investment and business. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A new dedicated fund and reform of the Innovation Council<\/h4>\n

The European Commission is aware of the need to secure funding for start-ups. So,\u00a0this was\u00a0the announcement of measures that serve this purpose: the commitment to “establish a\u00a0European Scaleup Fund<\/strong>” to “close the funding gap” of high-tech companies. It is unclear whether this fund will be an instrument within the next Multiannual Financial Framework<\/strong> (MFF 2028-2034), a first draft of which is expected to be presented by the EU executive on\u00a0July 16, or a stand-alone measure. Executive Vice-President and responsible for the Industrial Strategy, St\u00e9phane S\u00e9journ\u00e9,<\/strong> is confident: “Let us make it easier for companies to access finance and improve their ability to operate in our Single Market.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The EU also intends to reform the European Innovation Council<\/a>, the special body created and designed to support start-ups (young companies under three years old). Here, the goal stated in the strategy is to “expand and simplify” its mandate and functioning.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
